Betty's Seafood Shack

Betty’s Seafood Shack has become one of our favorite parts of summer in Margate. We started coming here a couple years ago, and now we make it a point to stop by every time we’re in town. The food is just consistently amazing. Our go-to order is the lobster roll and the grilled shrimp lettuce wraps — the shrimp is always jumbo, super fresh, and perfectly grilled, and the lobster roll is buttery, generous, and absolutely packed with flavor. At this point, we’ve tried almost everything on the menu, and truly, it’s all delicious. Every single dish has been full of fresh ingredients, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. The atmosphere at Betty’s makes the whole experience even better. It’s right on the bay, and even when it’s packed (which it often is), it never feels too hectic. Watch

We came in right before the big lunch rush, so we were able to be helped very quickly! Then less than 10 minutes later, we were served with some of the best seafood I’ve had on the east coast!! My husband came in saying that he wasn’t very hungry and wouldn’t eat anything, but after eating half of my meal, we left with him saying ‘should I go back and get more?!?!’ If you can get in when it’s not too busy, you really had not ought to miss this gem… even if it’s crazy busy, it’s STILL probably worth it. Thank you!!

In one word, delightful. Incredibly delicious lobster roll (I tried both) and the sea food combo (shrimps, scallops, crab cake) was perfect. Well seasoned and not deep fried. Hands down this is my new favorite spot for on the beach casual seafood. 🦞

Betty’s Seafood Shack is fabulous! We had the Connecticut style lobster rolls… they were the BEST EVER! Enjoyed the atmosphere and everyone was very friendly! So glad we stopped!

It’s kind of a complete free-for-all in there, but if you can manage to place your order at the counter and find a spot yeah the food is good. Like really good. Pretty casual and low-key and it’s a good option to kind of sit/take away as opposed to go to some of the fancier places down by the bay. Needless to say was not cheap with two lobster rolls and a dozen oysters, but definitely worth going back. Good on you Betty’s.
